  3. This Land Is Your Land • Words and Music by Woody Guthrie • This land is your land This land is my land • From California to the New York island; • From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters • This land was made for you and Me. • As I was walking that ribbon of highway, • I saw above me that endless skyway: • I saw below me that golden valley: • This land was made for you and me. • I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps • To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts; • And all around me a voice was sounding: • This land was made for you and me. • When the sun came shining, and I was strolling, • And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, • As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting: • This land was made for you and me. • As I went walking I saw a sign there • And on the sign it said "No Trespassing." • But on the other side it didn't say nothing, • That side was made for you and me. • In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people, • By the relief office I seen my people; • As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking • Is this land made for you and me? • Nobody living can ever stop me, • As I go walking that freedom highway; • Nobody living can ever make me turn back • This land was made for you and me. • This land is your land This land is my land • From California to the New York island; • From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters • This land was made for you and Me.
